In their new positions, Briggs and Paganelli will be responsible for expanding TIG Global’s aggressive interactive marketing and web services efforts on behalf of DMOs worldwide.

Additionally, Paganelli serves on the board of DMAI and previously served as vice chair of the New England Society of CVBs.
“Our extensive hospitality marketing experience and understanding of how people search for travel has made expanding into the DMO vertical a natural extension of our business model,” said Trip Schneck, president and co-founder of TIG Global. “We are thrilled to have Angie and Steven join our growing team, and I am confident that they will be a tremendous asset as we tailor our services for DMOs.”
